  1. Thanks for the replies. If you google this question, the general consensus is "NO CAN HAZ BAD DEATH CLOG SHIT MONEY!!11!1!!" Thank you, no. Don't see how that would help anyway.
  2. So, I'm reading all sorts of conflicting things on this shitty topic... Do any of you have a septic system AND a garbage disposal. I know it can pose problems if one isn't careful, but curious if those concerns are overblown. We are close to moving on a house but new to septic and damn well want a disposal if we can have it (moving from NYC apartments, get a rope, etc.) I hope this topic doesn't stink for everyone.
  3. True, but also, you now how I know, etc. etc. NTTIAWWT
  4. Gosh darn, this has me steamed. I mean really darn cheesed. I'm gonna PM Derka post-haste!

    First Aid Kit clip, she appears to be playing that Tweedy 00DB (see guitar pron thread). Now I has a new want. Well, maybe make that two.
  6. Comes up as blocked as "adult" content. WTF?! I can't not have my good ol' lulz during the many, many hours at work every day!
  7. I've got an Anova that I only have ever done steaks with but they are pretty dummy proof (good for me). I just use gallon zip lock bags - salt/pepper steak put in bag w/ sprig of thyme and two pats of butter, then submerge into water until covered (which effectively vacuums the bag around the meat) and seal. I use my Le Creuset dutch oven and for two steaks, it's just enough water/room. My wife likes her steak much more well done, so I cook hers at 148 for an hour, then ice the water down to 133 or 135 and put mine in for an hour. Then I pat dry and let sit for a half hour or so before searing. Pretty damn good every time.
  8. This is a hard question to answer, but in terms of overall just great, engaging performance, Jeff Tweedy at Bass Concert Hall about 5 or 6 years ago was really amazing. Just him and guitars. I went two nights in a row. I've seen some good "big" shows, too. Sting was pretty great about 15 years ago. Surprisingly, saw Coldplay 2 years ago on some free VIP tix and gotta say it was an amazing show once I suspended my snobbery filter. Also used to go see Vertical Horizon in college - fratty pop band, but played small-ish venues backed by Carter Beauford. Also, Arc Angeles and Storeyville used to have fun-as-hell shows.
  9. Neil Diamond and I was probably 4 years old. Pretty sure it was at Reunion Arena, but that was just built then and I don't particularly recall. Subsequently saw him 5 or 6 more times. My parents were fans. First "grown up" concert I saw was Chuck Mangione. Then, I'd guess either New Order or Lynyrd Skynyrd or Depeche Mode or some other such nonsense.
  10. Lars, is that you? Also, JJ, did you powdercoat that hardware or buy it already black? I've always wanted to build my own kit, especially after seeing the process in having one built. And Keller shells?
  11. So you guys are saying SKIP the little splash of Diet Coke at the end? We'll see....
  12. Username continues to check out.
  13. Ha, that sounds like me before The Purge.
  14. Love it. My first "real" kit was a Pearl Export 5 piece.
  15. The GMT Mii just looks weird with the jubilee band. I love my older pepsi, but the bezel is fading a LOT.
  16. Yeah, it was ridiculous. I played blues/rock, mostly. It was overkill in every single way and a bitch to get any decent tone out of it without the kick head feeling like mush. (Turns out, there's an advantage to drums with asymmetrical measurements in terms of ability to get kick feel and tone right, especially at that big-ass size). I also think the kick and floor toms were all 12 ply shells, but can't remember if it was all of them and they had rounded bevel edges. Fat. But when I bought it, I already had two other "stock" kits so when I decided to play around with a custom kit, I wanted some crazy specs and look/feel. Was pretty fun.
  17. Fly high like the eagle soars. Or something like that.
  18. I have a Pixel first gen (worked on its launch) but don't yet have the 2. Far and away my favorite phone ever and worth switching for the camera alone.
  19. And while I dream about: I'll probably end up with this (since I now also have to buy guitars habitually):
  20. And of course, I could always:
  21. Okay, fine, I'll just talk to myself then. Thinking something like this for my next kit:
